The menu and food looked delicious - I was on a presurgery restrictive diet so an egg on toast was a safe option. Definitely be back to try something more delicious.

The food was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The wait staff were extremely polite and efficient. The only drawback for me is that you can’t book over the telephone.

Had lunch with friends from Melbourne. We all loved the food. Friend who had the gnocchi said it was delicious but it was a little gritty (beet leaves need to be washed better. Friend who had the mushrooms (a vegetarian) said it was delicious. I had the chicken and it was also very good. Noise has been an issue on my previous visits however it was better this visit. Still a bit noisy but not prohibitively so. An all round lovely lunch in a really pleasant atmosphere. Service was fabulous. Thankyou very much to all.

Good service. Drawing room has been renovated to a lovely standard. Food was lovely. The steak sandwich was tender. Barramundi was delicious except a bit too bitey (chilli). A bit loud: hard yo hear conversation on larger table. Seating comfortable. Coffee nice.

The venue is awesome. Modern, light and beautifully styled Coffee and service was good. Menu very limited and would have liked to see smaller lunchtime snacks eg. Toasted sandwiches, soup etc. There is either breakfasts or full meals on the menu with nothing in between. We both had an egg and bacon roll which neither of us enjoyed. My egg was hard and the roll dry with far too much strong relish on it. If you’re just going for coffee it’s a lovely place to go but the lack of snacks was disappointing eg. Cakes and slices.
